Never Learn^t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 12-2| J: H Cobden| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 102

15/8

Hasn't really happened for him yet but unexposed over fences and this looks a far more realistic task. Seems to find this trip and ground fine over hurdles and a bit of market support for him here would make him interesting.

Form: 43-F243

Daveron³⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: James Nixon⁽⁷⁾| T: R J Price| OR: 93| D

5/1

Pulled up or tailed off on his last five starts and appears to be well out of form. Did no better on first start for new yard recently and hard to make a solid case for.

Form: 5-PP67P

Irish Thistle²⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 10-13| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: D L Williams| OR: 85

10/3

Poor overall win record and did no better fr Sam Twiston-Davies at Chepstow last time out either. Step up in trip may help but bottom line is he just doesn't win enough to be backed with any confidence.

Kavanaghs Corner^t³⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: Conor Shoemark| T: Simon Earle| OR: 77| BF

2/1

No win in 13 but comes here off the back of a good effort at Leicester (second, first two well clear) and clearly handles conditions well. On same mark here and a repeat of that would surely take him close in such a modest event.

Form: 3-P7422

Valshan Time^b1²⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: James Best| T: Mrs L J Young| OR: 76WS

20/1

Given near-impossible tasks over fences so far, and as such, goes handicapping on a basement mark. May need this but yard have landed the odd gamble with similar types in the past, so needs a market check.

Forecasts

Never Learn (15/8), Kavanaghs Corner (2/1), Kahdian (3/1), Irish Thistle (10/3), Daveron (5/1), Valshan Time (20/1), Holeinthewall Bar (25/1)

None of these can fully be trusted and a degree of caution is advised. NEVER LEARN should find this company a bit less taxing than some he's been keeping and may be able to take advantage of it.He's at least open to some improvement and on that alone deserves plenty of respect here. Kahdian Kavanagh's Corner too finds getting his head in front tricky but won't get many better chances that this and has to be considered. Keep an eye on the market for any support for Valshan Time too.
